To all whom it may concern.

Be it known that L'EVRAH LIPPS, of

' Warren, in the county of Trumbull and State of Ohio, have inventedcertain new and useful Iin' rovements in Electric-Fan Supports; and I ohereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and. exact descriptionof the inuse the same.

The primary. object of this invention is to enable an electric fan to bereadil adjusted into different positions on a sin e bracket,

whether supportedon'a desk or ya wall or.

partition. I

The invention will be hereinafter fully set forth and particularlypointed out in the' claims. y

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is an elevation, only a portionof a fan casing being shown. Fig. 2 is a top plan view,

arts omitted, the neck of the motor casing eing shown in section. Fig. 3is a similar a base plate 3 having two trunnions with which engage thumbscrews 4 passed through openings in arms 2, and by which the plate isswiveled to the bracket; When these screws are loose the late may beturned axially thereon into di "erent positions,.and by binding thescrew 4 the glgte will be securely locked. At its center t has anopening to accommodate the neo {'5 of the fan casing, an outline ofwhich is shown at 6, Fig. 1. This neck is formed with a cirthe end of aretaining screw by which the casing will be held to the plate. thescrews 4, as shown in Fi s. 1 and 2, may be screwed into the plate anelongated so as to project at its inner end into the groove the neck,but if preferred an'auxihary screw mag be employed for this purpose, asshown in ig. 3.

with

swiveled base late By the'described means, the one and the same bracketwithout additional parts may be em loyed to su port an electric faneither directy on a stand or table or against a wall or partition. Notonly may the fan be adjusted horizontally on the base plate, but byplate It is manifest, from what has been stated, that I have provided anextremely simple and be adjusted and held in di ferent positions whetherused as a desk fan or a bracket fan.

I claim as my invention:

1. In combination, a support, a fixed yoke, abase plate, a motorrotatably mounted on said base plate so as to be capable of movement ina horizontal plane, and means con necting the base plate to the yoke 'soas to be capable of adjusting the motor in a vertical plane.

2. In combination, a su port, a fixed yoke, amotor having a neck, a aseplate having a and screws mounted in such yoke supporting said baseplate. a 4

3. In combination, a su port, a fixed yoke, a motor having a neck, a aseplate having a central opening to accommodate said neck, and screwsmounted in such yoke supporting said base plate, one of said screwsbeing designed to extend into said opening for engaging and holding themotor neck. In testimony whereof, I have signed this specification inthe presence of two subscribing witnesses.

Forthis purpose, one of;
